Description/Summary

Summary:

First edition, edited and with a dedication letter by the great German humanist, Sebastian Brant (1458-1521), who is perhaps best remembered for his Ship of Fools (1494). The text is a lecture on Matthew 15.13, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots," by the French Benedictine Jean Raulin (1443-1514), president of the Collège de Navarre in Paris, who was a forceful figure in reforming his order. An interesting lecture in which Raulin covers a wide range of topics of human knowledge which should be examined with a critical eye; especially certain early philosopher's and astrologer's works: two he particularly picks out are Heraclitus and Albumasar. Raulin was "vehement in his denunciations of the corruptions in Church and State and ready unscrupulously to attack all abuses in ecclesiastical discipline" (Baring-Gould, Post-mediaeval preachers, p. 70). Brant dedicates the work to his patron, Basel Bishop Christoph von Utenheim (d. 1527). Utenheim was a close friend of Jakob Wimpfeling and Johann Geiler von Kayserberg. "Utenheim formed a dual commitment to ecclesiastical reform and humanistic learning. In 1494 the abbot of Cluny entrusted to him the reform of the monastery of St Alban at Basel" (Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 361).
